CIDG chief’s sacking not e-sabong-related, says PNP
The Philippine National Police (PNP) denies that the reassignment of former Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Director Brig. Gen. Romeo Macapaz is linked to the missing 'sabungeros' case.
PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo clarified that Macapaz's transfer was a personal request due to his impending retirement and ineligibility for further promotion.
Fajardo stated that no one dictated the Chief PNP's decisions regarding Macapaz's previous appointment to the CIDG.
She defended Macapaz, calling accusations of compromising the investigation unfair and asserting he was performing his duties.
The PNP spokesperson's statement comes amid reports of the CIDG asking victim families to file charges against a whistleblower.
